The article so far is accessible and maintains a neutral tone. The "Racial History" section of the draft does feel like a much needed expansion of the current article. My biggest concern is that the rest of the article is just a more general version of the current article just at section in the bottom. I can see that being helpful for people who don't read through the entire article but since the current article itself is already short, it can conflict. A way I can see this article going further could be to mention how there have been more petitions to end Capital Punishment and instances of people using specific cases of those on Death Row whose time is approaching and campaigning for them done on social media.

Here are a couple of sources that could expand the discussion on Race and Capital Punishment.
